Senator Anne Urquhart blasts Liberals for their repeated harassment of Katy Gallagher in the #Senate & for the “impact” it’s having on women who need to “speak out”

Urquhart: “What you’re doing is continually putting a lid on them & telling them to shut up!”
Hard not to be brilliant when you have a golden heart like Anne’s. Inspirational, powerful, courageous. ❤️ Image
WTF
#AfternoonBriefing or #SkyAfterDark ?
Barnaby Joyce, questioned on Higgins saga & given platform to weaponise

Jennett: “No doubt it will continue to be argued in the Senate”

Why?

Can I just say how utterly refreshing it is to hear somebody talk honestly about the pandemic, and the fact that ignoring it won’t make it go away?

@Mon4Kooyong talking so much sense on #afternoonbriefing today.
Some highlights: Importance of financial support for people infected. “The last thing we want to do is to force people back into the workplace when they are still actively infected with Covid-19. That is not in anyone's best interests.”
“We know that they decreased the mandatory isolation requirement from seven days to five days recently without telling us on what basis that decision was made. We have reason for concern that they might remove isolation requirements altogether in the near future.”

I was calling for thinkers to give the @ABCaustralia a big miss twitter.com/i/lists/156112… seems like #afternoonbriefing's opposition, #Insiders' one-sider, #QandA's letmetellyouwhattothink, @abcnews' repetition, & #breakfastnews' irrelevance are doing my job for me 😜😂

Medical distinction between Guts and Balls

We've all heard about people having Guts or Balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, here are the definitions:
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the Guts to ask: 'Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the Balls to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions and differences. But....

Ed Husic is on fire, both rhetorically and sartorially, on #AfternoonBriefing.
I'm not sure about the blending of the hair on top with that on the sides but love the greying beard.
The tie and the 🇺🇦 lapel ribbon are excellent.

The tie is generously proportioned without straying into tablecloth territory, @GregJennett.
The suit and shirt are good and the hair is excellent.

The indefatigable @beejaymac10 looking sharp as he reports from Lismore.
Love the hair, Bruce.
As he said, five years to the day from the 2017 floods.

ANOTHER opportunity for #IndependentsDay candidates to put serious donation disclosure reform on the #ausvotes agenda.

Indies completely justified in operating under current law, otherwise they give Govt MPs an unfair & crippling advantage.

Will the Govt pledge reform too?
2. Maybe an #IndependentsDay candidate or two might ask the sitting MP to agree that both fully disclose donations in real time from the hand shake. Wouldn’t that be interesting :)
3. WILD: @JasonFalinskiMP says Labor must put all #IndependentsDay candidates LAST because @zalisteggall amended her donation return.

Jason, what’s your #ausvotes #HonestPolitics plan? Debate it with @SophieScamps in #MackellarVotes?

Do you back Zali’s’ PolAdsTruth bill?

731. Extraordinary stuff from Frydenberg, triumphalist Back in Black back boaster before last #ausvotes. SURELY with a record breaking deficit and covid widening income inequality the sane thing to do is delay or abolish the stage 3 tax cuts. Nope - let’s cut tax more!
732. B McKenzie demands the Clean Energy Finance Corporation finance carbon capture & storage research (a fantasy) to sustain coal mining. The mining industry hasn’t done it because it can’t be done. This is AWFUL, & she confirms there’s STILL no bloody plan!
#IndependentsDay!
733. The fix is in. If carbon capture and storage was viable big fossil fuel companies would have found a way by now. Yet to pretend to act on climate change the Govt INCREASES taxpayer already massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry.

Trainwreck interview between Labor's Tony Burke and #AfternoonBriefing's Patricia Karvelas, who was attempting to push a #FakeNews policy narrative announced by Christian Porter.

Burke wasn't having it. 👍

#journalism #ThisIsNotJournalism #auspol
lol. Patricia Karvelas is now trying to steamroll Labor's Stephen Jones with Christian Porter's #FakeNews about 'portable entitlements' on #AfternoonBriefing

Karvelas is on the Morrison spin team.

#journalism #ThisIsNotJournalism #TheNarrative #auspol
And now it's segment #3 trying to push the same Christian Porter #FakeNews narrative, this time with Australian Industry Group lobbyist Innes Wilcox.

#ScottyFromMarketing's narrative is getting the rolled-gold treatment.

Huh? I deliberately did NOT Retweet the @AngusTaylorMP allegation thread because the allegations were unsourced. What’s going on, Angus?
2. Here’s the full letter from @AngusTaylorMP lawyers sent to @NoFibs which falsely claimed I tweeted a thread on allegations against him.
3. Wondering if a lawyer Tweep would agree to act for me pro bono to sort out this mess? I believe I did not Tweet or RT the thread in question.
